DIY Speaker wire


I have read multiple posts about using 10 awg solid core copper wire for speaker wire. Anybody use 10-3 romex? It has 3 shielded wires and one bare inside a plastic sheath. I am bi- ampping and am considering using this for each side instead of (4) single wires.

The is cheap copper full of impurities.. cheap insulation tooo.
And every time you bend it, it gets worse.
But if the idea floats your boat...
"The is cheap copper full of impurities.. cheap insulation tooo."

The same cheap wire that is used from your wall outlet to your electrical panel box, that many have their very expensive audio A/C cables connected to.

Just something to think about.

I say try it, you never know. I tried this a while back (12/2, not 12/3 though) and didn't make much difference with my Klipschorns that I had then. Some speakers are more cable sensitive than others.
I need to run 4 sets of speaker wire 24' over a stone floor. There is a fireplace between my speaker (best placement in my 1,100 sq' room) giving me that space behind the main sofa the best placement for my rack of gear. I have removed the passive crossover from an old pair of Speakercraft (4)ribbon/6.5" cone combos and are bi-amping with a pair of vintage McIntosh M60s and Audio Research Classic 120s (4 mono blocks.) I do have a Von Scheikert Tower sub as well. 100 feet of spendy cable could be a fortune. Ideas?
